LOCATION

We decided that the perfect place to shoot our movie would be the rural location of 'Bloody Bridge' just outside of Newcastle, County Down. This is an area that i am quite familair with, and a place where Anna goes camping every summer. Anna was aware of the forest and ruins and this really helped us in the planning aspect of our film.

We have decided this would be the perfect location as it will be practically empty as while it is a popular tourist destination, most people visit in the summer as a pose to March, which is when we are filming. The location also has a lot of history, and this adds to the haunting aspect of our movie.

In his 1898 `Guide to County Down and the Mourne Mountains', Robert Lloyd Praegar writes, 'It derives its gruesome name from the massacre of a number of protestants of Newry, including their minister, in the troubled year of 1641 at the instigation of Sir Conn Magennis.'
Other accounts of this have been recorded by Harris, who wrote what he heard over the truth and for this reason he is not sure whether 24 people or 50 people die. Either way, the people were barbarically killed hence the name Bloody Bridge.
